Getting Started With Sprint PCS Service
Determining if Your Phone is Already Activated
If you purchased your phone at a Sprint PCS Store, it is probably
activated, unlocked, and ready to use. If you received your phone in
the mail, it probably has been activated; all you need to do is unlock
it.
If your phone is not activated, please refer to the Guide to Activating
and Using Your Phone included with your phone.
Unlocking Your Phone
To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:
1. Press to turn the phone on.
2. Select Unlock (right softkey).
Note:
To select a softkey, press the softkey button directly below the softkey
text that appears at the bottom left and bottom right of your phone’s
display screen. Softkey actions change according to the screen you’re
viewing and will not appear if there is no corresponding action available.
3. Enter your four-digit lock code. (For security purposes, the
code is not visible as you type.)
Tip:
If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four digits of
either your Social Security number or Sprint PCS Phone Number or
try 0000. If none of these work, call Sprint Customer Service at
1-888-211-4PCS (4727).

Turning Your Phone On and Off
Turning Your Phone On
To turn your phone on:
Press .
Once your phone is on, it displays “Looking for Service” which
indicates that your phone is searching for a signal. When your phone
finds a signal, it automatically enters standby mode – the phone’s
idle state. At this point, you are ready to begin making and receiving
calls.
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching,
a Power Save feature is automatically activated. When a signal is
found, your phone automatically returns to standby mode.
In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal periodically
without your intervention. You can also initiate a search for
Sprint PCS Service by pressing any key (when your phone is
turned on).
Tip:
The Power Save feature helps to conserve your battery power when you
are in an area where there is no signal.
Turning Your Device Off
To turn your device off:
Press and hold for two seconds until you see the
powering down animation on the display screen.
Your screen remains blank while your device is off (unless the
battery is charging).
Section 2A: Your Sprint PCS Phone - The Basics 16
Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger
Battery Capacity
Your Sprint PCS Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)
battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully
drained. The battery provides up to 4.3 hours of continuous digital
talk time or up to 96 hours of continuous digital standby time.
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks.
When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the
phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.
Note:
Tip:
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and
browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the
battery before it runs out of power.
Installing the Battery
To install the Li-Ion battery:
1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the phone,
making sure the plastic tab on the bottom of the battery is
inserted into the matching slot in the phone.
2. Slide the battery up until it snaps into place.
Section 2A: Your Sprint PCS Phone - The Basics 17
Removing the Battery
To remove your battery:
1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any stored
numbers or messages.
2. Press the battery release.
3. Slide the battery down and away from the phone and remove.
Charging the Battery
Your Sprint PCS Phone’s Li-Ion battery is rechargeable and should be
charged as soon as possible so you can begin using your phone.
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery
level becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off and you
will lose all the information you were just working on. For a quick
check of your phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge
indicator located in the upper-right corner of your phone’s display
screen. If the battery charge is getting too low, the phone sounds a
warning tone and an alert window is displayed.
Always use a Sprint PCS-approved desktop charger, travel charger, or
vehicle power charger to charge your battery.
To prevent data loss, make sure that you perform an ActiveSync
operation on a regular basis. This will minimize any data loss
between the phone and the desktop/laptop computer.
Warning!
Section 2A: Your Sprint PCS Phone - The Basics 18
Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your phone
and void the warranty.
Using the Travel Charger/Desktop Charger
To use the Travel Charger/Desktop Charger:
1. Insert the phone into the Desktop Charger cradle being careful
to insert the power/data interface connector.
2. Press down and back until the phone is locked into place.
3. Plug in the Travel Charger connector to the back of the
Desktop Charger and plug the other end into a standard wall
outlet receptacle.
When charging the battery, a red light is displayed on the front of
the Desktop Charger. A charging icon is also displayed in the upper
right corner of the screen on your phone’s inside or outside LCD
screen.
When the battery is completely charged, a green light is displayed
on the front of the Desktop Charger.
It takes approximately 4 hours to fully recharge a completely
rundown standard battery and 6 hours for an extended battery.
Performing an ActiveSync Operation
The ActiveSync application is responsible for keeping your SP-i600
and desktop or laptop machine synchronized. By keeping both your
devices synchronized, you minimize the risk of losing any
information. The ActiveSync operation is done using a partnership
that is created between the SP-i600 and the computer. This
partnership is unique to the device and cannot be used with any
other ActiveSync enabled devices.
For more information regarding the ActiveSync operation and how
to set up your SP-i600 to connect to the desktop or laptop machine,
see the Guide to Activating and Using Your Phone included with your
device.
